Notes
Disappointing win. I had a bad race plan going in that I was going to run relaxed the first 1.5 miles, then hammer. Field went out hard and the race winner pulled away a little after the mile. I should have made an effort to run with him at the mile. 5:05,10:20 (5:15),16:18 (5:21) I made the mistake of thinking that because I was peaking, I shouldn't hurt too much. My legs felt fine after the race. I do have a list of excuses: I've worked 50 hours or more the last 3 weeks (not including travel), I have a head/chest cold and had a hard time breathing. It felt like I was choking at times during the race. It was also cold and windy (about 12mph winds and 33 degrees realfeel 24). Taking a much needed break from running for two weeks. Plan is to take it easy until the end of April, then train for the Columbus Half in October.
